The basic concept of the complete series restoration is to simplify the use of the machine for the operator. To put it simply, now it is enough to push a button to stabilize the machine, move a joystick to operate the aerial part and push another button to destabilize the machine. Everything has been made to design a machine perfect for hiring without operator.

MAIN INNOVATION BENEFITS:
1. Self Stabalisation & De-Stabalisation
All the 4 outriggers of the machine may be stabilised simultaneously and automatically with one button. With another button the machine may be destabilised automatically (absolute innovation for the sector). The system preserves the possibility to stabilize single outriggers manually in case of particular obstacles.

2. Remote Control
In the new 3S version remote control with simplified interface one joystick controls only one movement.

3. Movement Contemporaneity
Some hydraulic solutions have been added in order to have the possibility to carry out different movements at the same time. Furthermore, movement speed has been optimized and increased where possible.

4. Automatic Weight Selection in the Basket
In the 3S version the weight selection is automatic (120 – 200 kg) and does not allow errors or overloads. The low weight of the battery means that the lift will weigh only 20 kg more than the standard diesel version.

5. Lithium Motorisation Availability
LightLift 3S will be available in the 48V electric motorizations, with lithium battery pack. The 48 V/2 kW Li-Ion battery pack will provide four hours of continuous working – more than enough for a normal day’s work. The battery weights a third of the weight of traditional batteries; will last for 8000 hours, which is three times longer than lead acid alternatives; and take just two hours to reach an 80% charge (four hours for a full charge). They also do not suffer from the ‘memory effect’, with no damage caused by partial charging. An on-board charger allows the batteries to be recharged while the lift is working.

An aluminium scaffold.

Are you considering the idea of using an aluminium scaffold tower or you have an interest in scaffold towers?

Either way there are many advantages of using an aluminium scaffold tower in place of step ladders, traditional metal scaffolding, stools, chairs and other makeshift platforms.

This article shows the top six reasons why you should use a scaffold tower:

Your Safety

The biggest advantage of a using a scaffold tower is that of safety and this is s a fact – you are far less likely to injure yourself on a scaffold tower than you are if you are precariously balancing on a chair. The guard rails and toe boards on the towers will prevent you from accidently leaning or stepping of the tower. Using a chair or stool you do not have this protection, I you are used to using a step ladder you may find that you frequently overstretch yourself and this can result in toppling ladder.

Save your energy

Let’s say that you live in an apartment that has very tall ceilings that you just happen to be painting. If you’re on a stool your going to have to keep getting up and down to top up your paint tray. If however you’re at the top of tower you will have enough space to store all of your paint and different brushes, you’ll have everything you need to hand thus saving you having to step up and down all day!

Save your time
Compared to traditional scaffolding systems aluminium scaffold tower can be constructed extremely quickly, what’s more you don’t need to have years of experience to safely construct it. Most designs of towers are almost fool proof – you simply can’t put them together the wrong way.

You can get more height
A scaffold tower will enable you to reach heights safely that would otherwise be impossible by any other method – you can get towers that will easily reach up to 10m (approx 30 feet).

You can reach further
From the top of a scaffold tower you can safely lean and reach hedges and guttering that would have been difficult to reach from a traditional ladder. A privet hedge for example simply wouldn’t support the weight of a ladder being lent against it.

They are durability
Aluminium will not corrode it’s lightweight and strong, compared to traditional steel scaffold towers for DIY and light trade use and aluminium scaffold tower is an obvious choice.
